Synopsis Writing a Translation Commentary by : Penélope Johnson

This essential textbook is a step-by-step guide to how to write a self-reflective translation commentary, a key requirement of most courses on translation. Starting with source text analysis, it guides students in how to set out a translation strategy and goes through the most common challenging issues encountered, thus enabling students to set out their translation priorities in an informed manner. Throughout each chapter, there are boxes summarising key concepts and suggestions of tasks and activities, as well as recommendations for further reading. The book is supplemented by online resources for students and teachers on the translation studies portal. There are nine PowerPoints based on the chapters of the book that could be used for teaching or self-study. There are also downloadable versions of sample assessment rubrics, tables for example selection, and checklists. Based on real life examples of students' work in different language combinations, drawing on the author's years of experience of teaching commentary writing, this book focuses on several types of language mediation that go beyond the written word, such as interpreting, audiovisual translation, localisation, and transcreation. This is a vital textbook for students writing commentaries on translation and interpreting courses, a useful resource for supervisors providing students with guidance on how to write a balanced, articulate, and convincing commentary and a handy reference for professional translators and interpreters needing to explain their translation decisions to clients.

Synopsis Unconscious Escapades by : James Hendershot

What if we could travel in time and space as we do in the air? Are the deepest seas in the same degree close as the stars from the far corners of the universe? Are we truly as primitive as we are led to believe? So many questions remain unanswered while we struggle with our existence. We covet the great conquerors and leaders throughout history. We cry as we see our credit card balances increase and savings accounts decrease. We fantasize over great vacations or living in a wonderful mansion and question the line between reality and fiction. Fortunately, the answers to so many of our questions are not as far from us as we might believe. Our distant ancestors might not be in the role of untouchable, as we once believed. Each night we casually lay down to rest from our daily struggles and mysteriously venture into another dimension that is as real during its control over our mind and body as our lives in the material world. The power of dreams takes us into other worlds and ages, where all our songs are hits, and we win our battles. Even though we do not win all our battles, we still come out victorious. What was false may now be true, and the stars are in our back yard. Love obeys its own rules as the wicked and hateful fall down before us. These worlds of worlds where kings follow our commands remain as great a mystery today as it was for those who walked among the Earth millennium earlier. We preserve our sanity by disregarding this special world, maintaining that it is not real. Is it real or fantasy? Even though our adventures erase from our minds quickly after we awaken, the fact that we were there cannot be denied. Discover what happens when this solid line begins to vanish.

Synopsis Never Say Sever in Deadwood by : Ann Charles

All Violet Parker wants is a day off. Better yet, just a “normal” day. But things never go as planned, especially in Deadwood. Someone—or rather something—broke into the local taxidermy shop and took bites out of the critter displays before racing off into the dark. But this is no random crime and Violet knows it. With a bounty on her head and troublemakers zeroing in on her, she soon goes from being the hunter to the hunted. “Burly muscled and rawhide tough don’t matter. Never tangle with a Scharfrichter!” ~Violet Parker

Synopsis Robert Creeley by : Ekbert Faas

In this biography Ekbert Faas pioneers a new kind of "life-writing." It tells its stories through the emotions, thoughts, and, above all, language of the dramatis personae, exchanging the authorial omniscience of traditional biography for an utter fidelity to sources. Allowing for contradictory viewpoints, anecdotes are told and re-told, letting Creeley reveal himself beneath the myths created by self-invention, wishful thinking, and, sometimes, distortion. Excerpts from autobiographical writings by the poet's first wife, Ann McKinnon, complete this intriguingly colourful and complex picture.
